Hon. Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives addresses the NRA Celebration of American Values at the David Lawrence Convention Center During the NRA Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh on April 29,2011 UPI/Archie CarpenterGOP polls show support for Newt Gingrich slowly growing, putting him in the top three Republican nominees for the 2012 presidential election.
Gingrich tied with Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, for second place with 15 percent, while businessman Herman Cain took the lead, a CBS News poll shows.
Since sexual harassment allegations rose against Cain, he has dropped in the polls but not fallen behind.
UPI.com reported that 61 percent of Republican primary voters say the accusations against Cain won't make a difference in their vote, but 31 percent say the allegations make them less likely to back him.
Women voters have dropped in support of Cain from 28 percent to 15 percent since October.
The CBS poll of 1,182 adults has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Another poll - a Marist poll - places Romney in front of the pack with 23 percent followed by Gingrich as 19 percent and Cain with 17 percent.
"The race for the GOP nomination has taken yet another dramatic turn," UPI.com quoted Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. "Now, the top tier is crowded as Newt Gingrich has taken his place alongside Mitt Romney and Herman Cain. Could anyone imagine a more unsettled contest?"
